BN4 progress

Hi everyone
Thought I'd post on the latest progress on my BN4. I have replaced all the metal that needed replacing and finally got into paint. I used all Kilmartin panels plus some I made myself. The chassis is solid, although I had to let in some new steel in the tops in a couple of places. I started stripping this car at the beginning of March, so I am happy with the progress so far. For those who are interested the colour is New Mini Pepper White. Interestingly, they refer to it as Old English White. I think it's pretty close; a nice creamy off white.
Cheers
Matthew

Nice progress!
 
Looks great. Now the fun begins. I always enjoy putting them back together when everything is fresh paint and clean. Especially the Healey because everything is laid out so neatly.
 
G'day Matthew,
Where in Australia are you located?

wow, we are at almost the exact same point in our projects..................half a world apart. and, on a BN4 as well.............Good work.
 
Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. It's great to have some support even if it's long distance
Alwyn, I am in Adelaide. A fair drive from you.
Randy, it's a 100/6, so no, not a center gear change.
Jim it's not a Longbridge car. In fact it's a very late BN4 CE 76762.
I'm surprised no one told me I had the pedals on the wrong side:friendly_wink:
